Narrated by Ghanaian TikToker @angiesarpong, the story paints a bittersweet tale of love, sacrifice, and heartbreak. She nicknamed the Ghanaian lady, Akua and the Nigerian man, Ibrahim.
According to the narration, the lady was an international student in Canada, struggling to maintain her studies and considering dropping out due to financial constraints.
During her difficult time, she met a successful Nigerian man who had established himself in Canada with a permanent residence and a thriving construction business.
Moved by her situation, the man allegedly offered financial support and provided her with a place to stay, ensuring she could continue her studies. Over time, he expressed romantic interest, asking her out, and she accepted, becoming his girlfriend.
The couple remained together as she completed her schooling and achieved permanent residency.
He ostensibly even made plans to support her through law school. However, after completing her studies, the woman moved out, explaining that she would only return after marriage.
Ibrahim agreed and asked how he should proceed to travel to Ghana for the traditional rites.
A few days later, Akua allegedly informed Ibrahim that she could not go ahead with the marriage, stating that her family had refused to give her hand in marriage, largely because of his nationality.
The specific reasons behind the supposed nationality concern were, however, not explained.
